I’m Diana.
I’ve traveled through more than 60 countries, but travel, for me, has never been about numbers, landmarks, or collecting places. I’ve always been drawn to what happens between destinations: early mornings, quiet cities, movement, and the decisions that shape a journey long before you arrive.
I don’t look for beaches or idle days. I don’t sit on sun loungers, and I don’t get bored easily. The sea fascinates me even when I don’t enter it. Some places are beautiful without being touched. Some journeys are meaningful without being rushed.
Asia feels deeply familiar to me — in a way I still struggle to explain. Sometimes I joke that in a previous life I was Japanese, walking to work, eating raw fish, and moving with quiet confidence through the city. Northern countries remain a quiet dream: a life where sweaters, cold air, and simplicity are enough.
I don’t carry an umbrella when it rains.
I freeze sometimes, but I don’t wear gloves — my hands are wings. Not because they lift me into the sky, but because they keep clicking “book now”.
How it started
I began traveling alone at a very young age, long before I understood where it might lead. I moved through different corners of the world, amazed by its scale and beauty, collecting stories without knowing what to do with them.
Ironically, writing was never my strength. As a child, I needed help just to finish a school essay. I never imagined travel would eventually turn into words, structure, or guidance.
When I first created a simple online space around travel, people began reaching out. Many had never booked a flight on their own. Some had never made a reservation. Most weren’t looking for inspiration — they were looking for reassurance, clarity, and someone who had already walked the path.
LetMeFlyGirls
That need shaped everything that followed.
The idea of building a community came naturally. A space for women who wanted to travel, learn from one another, and feel confident moving through the world. That’s how LetMeFlyGirls was born.
Organizing trips was never part of an initial plan. It came from insistence. From people asking, again and again, to travel together.
My first organized journey brought together eleven women from four different countries. We had never met before. We gathered in Lisbon and flew together to the Azores.
The destination was chosen instinctively. One image was enough. Then maps, then research, then certainty.
The Azores remain, for me, a place of rare balance: ocean energy, volcanic landscapes, kind people, and a rhythm that teaches you to slow down.
Why this space exists
LetMeFlyGirls continues to be the place where I organise journeys.
This blog exists for something else.
It’s where I step back from organizing and slow the pace. Where experience is separated from promotion. Where I write about what actually works: timing, logistics, movement, restraint, and decision-making.
Here, travel is not about checking places off a list.
It’s about understanding rhythm.
About knowing when to move and when to stop.
About leaving space — for places to speak, and for yourself to listen.
I believe every city in the world holds something familiar, if you arrive with the right mindset. And I believe limitations don’t define us — they only shrink ambition if we allow them to.
This space is an invitation to travel with intention, clarity, and respect for the journey itself.
